Audemars Piguet

AP cal. 2003

 

Good Monday morning everybody,

One of my weaknesses are very simple dress watches and among those, I like Vacherons most. So when 2010 SIHH Vacheron Constantin introduced Historiques Ultra-Fine 1955, I got excited for a moment. It is a very slim, simple and elegant watch with a wonderful in-house movement designed by JLC. A nice detail in the movement are the golden bridges. For a moment I thought if I should start to save money for this watch. However, I had an unused simple AP in the storage...

And for me this AP is a better size than VC: 38 mm vs. 36 mm.

Furthermore, my AP has the same movement as VC Historiques Ultra-Fine 1955 and also with golden bridges:

I really like the buckles of Vacheron, but the folding clasp of my AP is not bad either.

So I decided to go for a walk in the evening and take a wrist shot of my slim Jules Audemars. The weather was nice and I was walking close to the sea. There I noticed once again that in the end one of my Audemars fits with the sea and sunset...

So in the end what happens is that my slim Jules Audemars will go today back to the bank vault and my simple Royal Oak will get a lot more wrist time. That is one of the very right watches for the beautiful summer days close to the sea.

Enjoy the starting week!
